So there other day when he told the world he'd only ever play for 2 premier league teams - the papers have taken that as Rooney to Stoke? Haha I love the media

Remember when everyone was saying shaqiri wouldn't go there ahead of us.


A front two of Walters and Rooney must be the heaviest attack in the prem

It will be a glorious homecoming when he lifts the shirt at USMFF with suntan Bob smiling next to him.

Terrible shout. Rooney has got great technical ability. People make out like he's some speed merchant with a terrible touch are just massively out of touch. Say what you want about Wayne Rooney the man and some of the decisions he's made off the pitch, but on it, he's one of the best, most intelligent players in the league.

I actually think there are great similarities between the 2. Scholes started as a striker as well but basically didn't cut it with Uniteds embarrassment of forward options, so Ferguson used him in lots of different positions, as he has with lots of players, including Rooney and Giggs. Ferguson managed, above all else, to instill a massive sense of loyalty and camaraderie in his players and has turned out teams that have often been much greater than the sum of there parts. Bear in mind, he's had championship winning teams with Phil Neville, John Oshea, Wes Brown, Kleberson, Quinton Fortune, etc...

But whereas Scholes ended up staying in midfield, Rooney has drifted to the point of playing wherever, whenever, and while Scholes is lauded for it, it seems to be used as a stick to beat Rooney with.

Its worth noting that there were often times where Scholes couldn't get a game ahead of Nick Butt, but alot of that has been glossed over by people who go on about Scholes now he's retired like he was some gift from God. He was also 1 of the worst tacklers in the history of the league and had he played for any other team (except Liverpool) he'd have stood alone at the top of the red card/disciplinary record as well.

In short, Wayne Rooney is in the awkward position of being at United during the inevitable period of uncertainty after Ferguson left, and has still managed to add to the trophy haul and break scoring records after the golden generation had all finished, and has done so with the professionalism and grace to not kick up a fuss as he has lost his place in the side. He's not retired, and come back when begged. He's not retired from England duty as a protest to not being picked enough, even though he can stake a genuine claim to being a true legend given his goalscoring record. Can you imagine Ibrahimovic being overlooked by Sweden?

Anyway, I think you do Rooney a disservice by dismissing his ability and his brain, regardless if he's not as fast or as explosive as he has been in the past.

If we get Rooney, it will be United loss and our gain.

Every day of the week.

Rooney is what we need to take the step up. Catalyst.

I don't know, finners. (shakes head) I'm just not feeling it, y'know?

Ahhhh mate are you serious?

The lad makes some good points and backs them up with some decent facts. Then you just dismiss them by saying he's deluded.

You might think it's the hight of wit but it's embarrasing and makes you look like you dont have the intelligence to hold up a decent discussion. I find it distressing and perplexing that this level of a response seems to be the norm and more appreciated responce on this fourm. Rather then a actual well thought out and detailed response designed to get your point across as well as invite further discussion.

But hey ho you'll probably just correct a spelling mistakes as a reply and think it's top level "bantz".

Tbh im not really bothered either way about rooney. If he signs he signs. If not then the manager obviously didn't want him enough to get him and im good with that too.

Competing with Stoke, MLS and China for our marquee signing. A brave new world for Everton.

I'm against his return, but a part of me wants him back to watch him fail. Horrible of me, I know.

Stoke are minted

Their owner (Sir Peter Coates) is only slightly wealthier than Mr Moshiri.

Not happy reading if I'm honest.

I understand doubts but benefits imho would be way bigger

 

[TyphooToffee]

Jesus.
Isn't it Koeman and Walsh's decision?

Yes but they don't pay his wages

 

[hirons11]

Well he has effectively been dropped by the club that finished 6th, and by Gareth Southgate.

Yeah but have you seen the quality of that England squad? Even CR7 would be struggling for a place don't you think?
